She started pulling herself to a standing position and this has made it possible for her to explore more which she really enjoys. However, she does get more bumps and bruises, which is hard for mommy sometimes! I know it's just part of growing up, though...
She finally sprouted her first teeth (on the bottom). The top one is getting ready to come out, also.
The newest thing she does lately is point to everything and say, "duh." When I go to get her after her nap, the first thing she always does is to point to the fan and say, "duh" as if she's telling me to turn it off. :)
I've had a few fun playdates with friends lately:
My friend, Susan, came over to my house with her son, Andrew. He is about 1 month younger than Julia. It was so cute to see them together. Julia really enjoyed having him around, until he started making loud noise... She would cry every time he let out a loud grunt like a typcial boy. Ha, ha. She is quite sensitive to loud noises but I gotta toughen her up!
Another cute picture of the duo
I went over to Angie's house recently. Joshua was taking a nap when I first got there, so the 3 girls played together. Julia was so cute and just loved watching what they were doing and playing with some new toys. Both girls were very gentle with her and were happy to share their toys.
Julia rode a "bike" for the first time. She did quite well. I pushed her and she stayed balanced, mostly, on her own. She even was able to reach the ground with her feet at one point and pushed herself a little bit. She really enjoyed it.

I love how Julia's smiling at Joshua! So cute. :)
All 4 kids
Julia and I met my friend, Kristina, at Chick-Fil-A for breakfast one morning. This was right before we left. Can you tell it's close to nap time? Julia sucks her thumb when she's tired. But, what I think is cute is how she sucks her thumb with one hand and then uses her other hand to hide it.

I am currently in Northern California, babysitting my cousins while my brother and his wife (Phil and Jaime) fly to Congo to adopt and pick up their son, Matteus. Check out their blog if you're interested in what's the latest with them: http://lifeatthelaytons.blogspot.com/
Julia loves her cousins. She smiles and giggles when they play with her. Here's a picture of Georgie dressing Julia in some dress up clothes.
Crazy Geogia :)

This is just as Phil and Jaime were leaving for the airport. Ella and Annalee were staying with some friends that night.
